Google is testing a new feature called Audio Overviews in Search, giving users the option to listen to AI-generated summaries instead of reading them. The tool is designed to support multitasking and auditory learning preferences.
The Details:
Audio Overviews use Google’s Gemini models to generate short, spoken summaries for certain search queries.
The feature is now available through Labs, Google’s testing platform, and appears when Google believes audio would enhance the query.
Users get basic audio controls including play/pause, volume, and playback speed, plus clickable links to source content.
Audio Overviews expand on the AI Overviews already in Search and follow similar rollouts in NotebookLM and Gemini earlier this year.
You can give feedback on each overview to help improve the feature before a broader release.
Why it matters:
Google is continuing to diversify how users interact with search results by offering more accessible and flexible formats. Audio Overviews are especially useful for people who prefer listening over reading, but the feature also adds to growing concerns around AI-generated content impacting web traffic for publishers.
TESLA
Tesla has filed a lawsuit accusing a former engineer of stealing confidential data from its Optimus humanoid robotics program and using it to launch a rival startup focused on robotic hands.
The Details:
The suit targets Zhongjie “Jay” Li, who worked at Tesla from August 2022 to September 2024, for allegedly stealing trade secrets.
Tesla claims Li downloaded sensitive files about advanced robotic hand sensors to two personal smartphones.
During his final months at Tesla, Li reportedly researched humanoid robotic hands and venture capital funding on his work computer.
Just six days after leaving Tesla, Li founded Proception, a Y Combinator-backed startup now claiming to have built advanced humanoid hands.
Tesla says the hands showcased by Proception closely resemble designs Li worked on while at the company.
Why it matters:
As Tesla prepares to commercialize Optimus by 2026, it is aggressively defending its intellectual property. This case highlights the high stakes in humanoid robotics and the growing tension between tech giants and fast-moving startups in the AI and hardware space.

AI & TECH NEWS
Meta is investing $14.3B for 49% of Scale AI and hiring founder Alexandr Wang to lead its superintelligence efforts. Scale stays independent, serving OpenAI and Google, while Meta gains access to top-tier training data—without voting rights or control.
Chinese AI firms are dodging U.S. chip export rules by flying 80TB of training data to Malaysia, renting 300 Nvidia-powered servers, training models, then flying the results back to China. This creative workaround undermines U.S. efforts to stall China’s AI development.
NVIDIA will exclude China in future revenue forecasts as U.S. export restrictions bite. CEO Jensen Huang expects a $8B Q2 hit due to halted H20 AI chip sales. This signals deepening U.S.-China tech tensions and reshapes NVIDIA’s global AI chip strategy.
Apple has postponed its revamped AI Siri assistant to spring 2026 due to major rebuilds and internal reshuffles. Originally slated for fall 2024, the delay signals Apple’s cautious approach as rivals like Google race ahead with LLM-powered features.
